The GRE General Test stands for Graduate Record Examination. It thoroughly evaluates a student's ability in terms of analytical writing, mathematics, verbal reasoning, critical thinking, and vocabulary.

GRE is the most widely accepted examination by foreign universities to determine a candidate's eligibility for a postgraduate program. Thus, clearing GRE can be considered the gateway to studying in a foreign university. Countries like the USA, Canada and Singapore accept GRE. Apart from graduate schools, many business schools also accept GRE scores and may convert them to equivalent GMAT scores, the generally accepted exam score for management courses.
